I am so sorry about your Cancer. Above is an occasional side effect of this drug. So there are still a chance. Talk to an Oncology Gyn. Physician, then you will be ahead of the game. If for some how this does not work out, which I do hope it does. Do not loose the love you have for your wife. Go into this hand in hand. It is not just her disease, it is a family thing.Remember adoption is always a choice too. Last week I met a young lady, age 11, whose mother was a single parent,the mom just died of Breast Cancer. A family adopted her and life now is in full bloom again. So what I am saying life is what you give and take from it. Love will always make life bloom.
